Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1b97c

The PR adds expandable items to docked navigation, but closing an expandable group can leave the dock displayed in its expanded layout, causing incorrect navigation presentation. This is a bounded UI issue that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear expandable dock state when the navigation group closes.

When the user closes Policy on desktop, result.isExpanded becomes false but both handlers retain isDockExpandableExpanded. The Page or Compass dock then remains expanded while the subnavigation is hidden.

  • packages/react-core/src/demos/examples/Nav/NavDockedNav.tsx#L232-L245: Set isDockExpandableExpanded from result.isExpanded when isDockTextExpanded is false.
  • packages/react-core/src/demos/Compass/examples/CompassDockDemo.tsx#L122-L135: Apply the same state transition.
Proposed fix
-      if (!isDockExpandableExpanded && !isDockTextExpanded) {
-        setIsDockExpandableExpanded(true);
-      }
-
       if (!isDockTextExpanded) {
-        setIsDockTextExpanded(false);
+        setIsDockExpandableExpanded(result.isExpanded);
       }
